Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease to keep the casserole from becoming soggy.
Layer Crescents: Spread the crescent rolls evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a base layer.
Add Sausage: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the crescent roll layer in the baking dish.
Pour Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs over the sausage layer, allowing the eggs to seep through evenly to all layers.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the casserole.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top.

Notes

Use mild or spicy breakfast sausage depending on your flavor preference.
You can substitute crescent rolls with refrigerated biscuit dough if desired.
For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with sautéed vegetables or a vegetarian sausage alternative.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving to help it set.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
